Title: Three little kittens
Post by: sharonbee on December 07, 2011, 20:49:21 PM

Our Siamese kittens are just one week old,
Mia had them on the 1st of December, She had three kittens, she came into labour around 2pm, just as we sat down for dinner lol, her first kitten came breach but didn't cause a problem, it weighed 95g, we stayed with Mia throughout her labour in case of any complications,My husband Kevin massaged her to get the labour going again,I gave her some caullophylum to make her contractions come stronger, her next kitten arrived at 12 midnight weighing in at 111g, the last kitten arrived at 12.40am at 101g. So we have 2 born on the 30th of November and 1 on the 1st of December.

We didn't go to bed then for another two hours just to make sure there were no more to come and to make sure all was well.

It was worrying when no more kittens came in 6 hours after the first one, it was like she had the first one and then made herself comfortable as if to say "That's it now, I'm happy with just the one,"   

Mia is really content and purring away cuddling and feeding her kittens, they have opened their eyes for the first time today, they look so cute.

I did try to post some but it didn't work. It kept saying files were too big and I'm not sure how to make them smaller. I'll have another go later.

Look for irfan view on the web and that will make pictures smaller for you.

Hello and welcome.
Beautiful kittens, and good weights for their breed. Is this the first litter you have breed ?

Hi Teresa, :thanks: they are our second litter. I have wanted to breed Siamese since I was 18, now at 48 I have just started my dream to breed.

 :thanks:They are coming on well now and have trippled their birth weights, Flavia is my favourite, as soon as I go into them and I speak she opens her eyes wide and meows so loud to be picked up. The other two cry to be put back down lol.

This is a new photo taken a couple of days ago.
